It is getting to the point where I would vote for some candidate who claimed to be fiscally irresponsible, just to see if they are lying too.
The trouble with "Fiscally responsible" is that it is along the lines of what the scientific community calls "Lies to children." A useful metaphor that explains things so that the they are comprehensible, but are totally wrong in every detail.
According to both moneterist and Keynseian economic theory, a government which is fiscally responsible during an economic crisis is totally irrisponsible when dealing with the real issues at hand.
So right now, I think I would prefer the Frank Sinatra Candidate
